Texas Attorneys Restore Mother’s Access to Children After Two-Year Absence in Divorce Case

Austin, United States – April 5, 2026 / Smith & Bledsoe Family Law /

AUSTIN, TX – Attorneys Christian Smith and Brandon Bledsoe of Smith & Bledsoe Family Law recently represented a mother in Williamson County Court at Law #3, securing a standard possession schedule after she was denied access to her children for two years. This outcome in the ongoing divorce proceedings addressed allegations of extreme parental alienation by the children’s father and established a formal framework for the mother to resume her parental role.

The case involved significant hurdles regarding the mother’s standing before the court after the extended period of separation. Smith and Bledsoe filed the necessary motions and presented evidence to the court to advocate for the restoration of the mother’s rights. The resulting temporary orders provide a structured schedule for visitation and possession, effectively ending the two-year gap in contact.

“Our goal in high-conflict custody matters is to present the facts clearly so the court can make decisions that support the parent-child bond,” said Brandon Bledsoe. “In this instance, we worked to demonstrate the mother’s fitness and the impact of the alienation, allowing the court to establish a schedule that prioritizes her return to her children’s daily lives.”

This legal action took place in Williamson County, where local court procedures dictate the management of temporary orders in family law disputes. By securing these orders, the legal team at Smith & Bledsoe Family Law has provided their client with the immediate legal authority to exercise her parental rights while the broader divorce case moves toward a final resolution.
